It's almost February, IZ*ONE is scheduled to be debuted in Japan on February. They'd been running on empty for weeks; none of them were slacking off. Two more days is XXX award show and the girls had been monitoring each other more thoroughly so that they would give off a great performance. In this award show, Eunbi and Chaeyeon both had their own solo opening dance and therefore the two of them had been putting 200% of themselves in this.

(In practice room)

Yujin:

Hey! Your breathing sounds weird.

Eunbi: *panting*

WーWhat do you meanー?

Yujin:

Your breathing is extremely heavy today

Eunbi: *panting*

I-I'm perfectly fine.

I'm just tiredー that's all.

Yujin: *uttered a loud call*

CHAEYEON-UNNIE!

Chaeyeon: *ran toward Yujin*

Hm?

Eunbi: *inhaled*

You don't need to...

Yujin: *worried*

Eunbi-unnie seems sick

Chaeyeon:
*placed her hand on Eunbi's forehead*

...

You've heated up a bit, haven't you?

Eunbi: *groaned*

I-It's nothing.

Let's go back to practice.

Chaeyeon: *shouted*

EVERYONE!

IT'S DONE FOR TODAY.

LET'S GO BACK AND REST.

REST IS IMPORTANT TOO.

DON'T OVERDO IT.

Yujin: *worried*

You heard her right unnie?

Let's go back and rest for today.

Eunbi had finally given up and gone back to the dorm with Chaeyeon and Yujin's help. Eunbi laid her back in her bed and gaze blankly at the door. Chaeyeon walked in and caught her eyes; she knew right away what her leader was thinking.

Chaeyeon:

I'll take your temperature now.

Don't worry so much about the upcoming show.

Just rest and you will do perfectly.

Eunbi: *mumbled*

I'm causing trouble again

Even though I'm the leader...

Chaeyeon:

You're doing fine, unnie

Don't be sorry, okay?

After Chaeyeon took her temperature, she went out and cooked some soup for her. Eunbi was about to doze off then come Yujin.

Yujin: *nervous*

Is the room's temperature

okay for you?

Do you need any adjusting?

I should increase it...

It's a bit chilly, right?

Eunbi: *tiredly*

Yujin ah

Yujin: *ran to Eunbi's*

Yes unnie?

Eunbi: *scolded*

You shouldn't have called Chaeyeon.

She's a worrisome-

I don't want to stress her out

Yujin: *pouted*

You're stressing me out right now

Why don't you just rest, unnie?

I'll leave you alone...

Yujin ran off to Chaeyeon's side, cuddled all up in her arms.

Chaeyeon:

Don't take her word so seriously.

She was just tired so

she blunt things out

without any consideration.

Yujin: *quivered*

Unnie... Are you restless

because of the award show?

Chaeyeon:

*patted gently on Yujin's head*

It would be a lie

if I say I'm not.

But it's good to be be stress sometimes

so don't think about silly things.

It was the right move that you called me.

Eunbi-unnie is really troublesome sometimes

Yujin: *sobbed*

I'll try to make up with her

when she wakes up.

By the way, where are the others?

Chaeyeon:

They insisted on practicing more

I'm heading back there too

You wanna come, Yujin?

Yujin:

It's fine. I'll continue tomorrow.

Yujin held her breath, tiptoed her way into Eunbi's room then stealthily crawl onto Yena's bed which is opposite Eunbi's. Slowly she turned her face to the left; through the wooden bed rail, she could see a sleeping face. Yujin sat up all of a sudden, piled up two of Yena's pillows against the headboard. She leaned her back on the fluffy pillows and press her backhead gently on the wall; her eyes fell on the her leader's sleeping face again. "Cute piglet" ー she thought as she slowly fell into sleep.

It was midnight, Yujin felt a bit itchy around her shoulders. Her eyes opened bit by bit when she felt a warm pat on her head. 

Eunbi: *flustered*

Sorry- Did I wake you up?

Yujin: *half-asleep*

...

Eunbi-unnie?

Why aren't you in bed?

Eunbi:

And why are you awake?

Normally I had to shout my lungs out

just to get you up

Yujin: *half-asleep*

Hehehe

Because I'm worried about you

Yujin tried her best to get out off the bed with her eyes wide opened. 

Eunbi: *whispered loudly*

What are you doing?!

Yujin grabbed the shorter girl's shoulders, used a bit of strength and pushed her down to the bed.

Yujin:

Stay still. Be right back!

If you move, I'll drink up all the sprite in the fridge.

While heading out of the room, Yujin took a look at the time and realized it was midnight but no signs of the other members. She peeped over the couch while on the way to the kitchen; Chaewon and Hyewon was sound asleep. Yujin carefully walked to the kitchen, heated Chaeyeon's soup up and went to feed Eunbi.

Eunbi: *blushed*

You don't have to do all of this.

I'm not that sick~ I can do it.

Yujin: *fed Eunbi*

...

Eunbi: *mouthfull*

H-Horry... a'out ear'ier

(Sorry about earlier)

Yujin: *kept feeding*

I know

Eunbi: *mouthfull*

I 'a'n't in my high' min'

(I wasn't in my right mind)

Yujin: *sighed*

Swallow THEN talk

Eunbi: *swallowed*

Yujin: *sighed*

Don't be sorry

Unnie just needs to be good

and rest well, okay?

Eunbi: *nodded*

Ummm~

Yujin:

*patted Eunbi's puffy cheek*

I'm going to wash the dishes

Go back to sleep, unnie

I'll sleep when I finish

Yujin went to the kitchen soon after leaving Eunbi with bubbly feelings inside her chest. 

(In the bedroom)

Eunbi: *whisper-shouted*

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAー

THAT LITTLE BRAAAAAAT

WHEN DID SHE GET SO COOL

COOL AND CUTE AT THE SAME TIME

ANーFREAKINGーYUJIN

(In the kitchen)

Yujin: *screamed internally*

THAT GOOD GIRL VIBE OF HER...

SO UNFAIR AND SO DANGEROUS

MYーFREAKINGーHEART!

SHE'S TRULY A TROUBLESOME UNNIE
